## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Visual glass didn’t work

*2021-02-23, version 2.2*

As per title,

### 1/5 — How could this not work?

*2020-09-19*

This app has a fairly simple functionality but somehow on my phone it doesn’t work at all. doesn’t show an hour glass just a black screen.

### 1/5 — Freezes if notifications pop up

*2018-12-01*

If phone alarms during timing, hourglass freezes. Can’t continue.

### 1/5 — Sand timer

*2011-05-14, version 1.2*

Rubbish.  Does not work.  Looks cheap as well.

### 1/5 — Will not work

*2010-09-20*

Tried it out and couldn't get it to function. In fact, when I rotated the app, it blacked out on 3/4 of the picture. Either need to fix it or delete it.

### 1/5 — doesnt work

*2010-08-27*

looka nice but doesnt work.  doesnt drop the sand

### 2/5 — Useless! (almost)

*2021-01-15*

Broken as of iOS 14.3 and no update a month after release! Just a blank screen with settings and info buttons.  
When it worked, settings only allow 1-3-6 minutes. As much as I love the six minute interval (a little more than five) this is not really useful.  
I mean, c’mon developers. Don’t release an app that’s basically all UI if you can’t implement standard elements.

### 2/5 — Eg

*2010-12-13*

Eh not worth it

### 2/5 — Eh

*2010-10-31*

Not that great. Low tech.  It's a free app though, and it works...

### 4/5 — simple and cool

*2019-05-30, version 2.2*

.just the advertisement is annoying! I’d pay some to remove it, but there wasn’t that option

## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Good, simple timer

*2020-09-23*

Serves its purpose and has a nice visual. My favorite timer app for games. 
The ads are subtle, but I’d be happy if there was an option to support the developer and buy an ad-free version!

### 5/5 — Perfect in meetings

*2018-10-02, version 2.1*

Easy to use and helpful for timing chats!

### 5/5 — Best hourglass app!

*2018-09-20*

Best app! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! 

Developers: if you decide to spice it up a bit, adding different chimes would be great. :-)

### 5/5 — REALISTIC!

*2014-02-19, version 1.8*

I know this might be domb but i lobe
This ga jfs

### 4/5 — No ads for me!

*2017-01-18*

Let's you choose from 1/3/6 minute timers. Unlike the other review I'm getting no advertisements. I'm using iOS 8.3 on an iPhone 6.

### 4/5 — Great app but I don't like ads

*2015-01-09*

The app is very simple and is perfect for someone not as much interested in a "timer" but the aesthetics of the sand filtering through the hour glass. This app nails that opportunity for thoughtful reflection nicely BUT only after you close out the ads. I'd happily pay for a non-ad version of this app.
